Pivot 8 and Pivot 7 sweep a fixed 180° arc (physical end-stops); Pivot 9 and Pivot 1 rotate a full 360°. Angle offsets are calibrated from real reference points for Pivot 8, Pivot 9, and Pivot 7 — Pivot 1's isn't calibrated yet. Radii for Pivot 7 and Pivot 1 are estimates pending confirmation. The arm's live angle comes from Corvina via a scheduled scrape (~every 15 min) — not instant, but far more current than any satellite pass.

PNOA (Spain, IGN)
25-50cm · Spain's national aerial survey · dated 2023-07 here (verified) — this is the true ceiling for free imagery at this field; use VIIRS/MODIS/Sentinel-2 below for anything recent

Free live sources · sorted by most recent pass
All of these are free, no signup, no key. Cards re-sort themselves as fresher passes come in — whichever has the most recent image for your field floats to the top. 250m sources (VIIRS/MODIS) show field-level color/moisture patterns; the 30m/radar sources below them are sharper but revisit less often. Sentinel-2 below (10m) is the sharpest — that one needs a free account.
High-res upgrade (optional)
Sentinel-2 (Copernicus)
10m resolution · ~5 day revisit · sharp enough to see pivot circles clearly
This tier needs a free Sentinel Hub / Copernicus account (no credit card for the free tier). Once you have one, paste your instance ID above and the 10m imagery layers in live — same map, same toggle system.
All sources run independently. When Sentinel-2 is clouded out, VIIRS/MODIS still update daily — that's the "combine sources" idea: more total updates than any one satellite gives you alone.
